The Perils of Perception: Why we’re wrong about nearly everything

Ipsos MORI began a series of studies on how people misperceive social realities back in 2012. After around one hundred thousand interviews in up to 40 countries, Bobby Duffy has written a book on how wrong we are, why and what we can do about it.

This unique study of misperceptions covers everything from our guesses at obesity levels, immigrant numbers, trends in crime and terrorism, how much we need in a pension pot, the sex lives of young people - and our misperceptions around Brexit, Trump and Facebook.
